Gable Steveson’s excellent performance at the Tokyo Olympics last year helped establish himself as a well-known name in the world of sports. WWE went the extra mile in getting Steveson to sign a contract as even Vince McMahon personally met up with Steveson to sign him. Steveson has seen huge success yet again by the looks of it.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers star and Olympic gold medalist had a dominant showing this past week. He was also expected to take home his second collegiate national championship this year.

In the finals this week, Gable Steveson successfully defended the NCAA Heavyweight Championship after defeating Cohlton Schultz of Arizona State Saturday night in Detroit, Michigan.

In light of Gable Steveson’s huge accomplishment, WWE also released a statement. They congratulated Steveson on his big win as well.
